Really Something (Chinatown Complex)

A very good Chinese fried rice with prawns. Lots of eggs and prawns which were crunchy fresh. The rice were separated grain by grain, no clumping together. Most fried rice are cooked with an excessive amount of oil. This one does not feel greasy at all. I can eat this every day.

I just wonder why on a Sat at lunchtime, business is so slow. Must be the location of the stall, tucked away in a more obscure part of Chinatown Complex.

It get busy here during lunch time as there’s one man taking care of everything. When I came there’s someone in front of me ordering a few packages of fried rice for takeaway.

So you have to queue and wait if there’s lots of orders.

This time I got their shrimp egg fried egg, which was also very delicious. The shrimp was very smooth and tasty. $4.80

Haven’t been here for few months and found out there are so many new stalls opening here. This is also one of the stall that joined the family here.

Specialise on Taiwanese cuisine, I decided to go for this one and totally enjoyed it. A generous portion of chicken chop topped on the egg fried rice. Sadly they don’t have sambal chilli but a different type of it. $4.80

Came across the social media account of 非同小可 Really Something recently, and made a point to give this newly-opened stall at Chinatown Complex Food Centre a visit after realising that they actually do serve up Chiayi Chicken Rice — a dish that I was introduced to at Eat Three Bowls; a variant that I actually very much loved ever since my very first try of this slightly less common Taiwanese dish in Singapore.

Simple as it always looks, I actually liked how the Taiwanese chicken rice is absolutely flavour —something that the variant here is nothing short of. Liked how the shredded chicken here retains moisture — pretty succulent whilst being drenched in a savoury sauce together with the rice, making the pearly rice not only just easy-to-have, but also fairly addictive especially with the crispy shallots over the top; one just simply wants to go on and on, until the entire bowl is finished in no time.

Must say that 非同小可 Really Something’s name is something that evokes expectations beyond the usual — a somewhat playful choice to name a stall with. That being said, we were left more than impressed still; pretty authentic Taiwanese fare that’s pretty worth making the visit for — all at a time where overseas leisure travel just does not seem to be a viable option. Really wishing these folks all the best in their hawker journey; a stall that is worth keeping a lookout for!
